Come Close Now

作词 : Christa Wells

作曲 : Christa Wells

I'm afraid of the space where you suffer

Where you sit in the smoke and the burn

I can't handle the choke or the danger

Of my own foolish, inadequate words

I'll be right outside if you need me

Right outside

What can I bring to your fire?

Shall I sing while the roof is coming down?

Can I hold you while the flames grow higher

Shall I brave the heat and come close with you now?

Can I come close now?

So we left you to fight your own battle

And you buried your hope with your faith

'Cause you heard no song of deliverance

There on the nights that followed the wake

We never thought to go with you

Afraid to ask

What can I bring to your fire?

Shall I sing while the roof is coming down?

Can I hold you while the flames grow higher

Shall I brave the heat and come close with you now?

Can I come close now?

Lay down our plans

Lay down the sure-fire fix

Grief's gonna stay awhile

There is no cure for this

We watch for return

We speak what we've heard

We sit together, in the burn

What can I bring to your fire?

Shall I sing while the roof is coming down?

Can I hold you while the flames grow higher,

Shall I brave the heat and come close with you now?

Can I come close now?
